Am I crazy?

Question

I feel like I'm going crazy with the amount of pain and discomfort I have. When I talk to my dr or even when the advice nurse tells me I need to go in to ER everyone treats me like I'm over exaggerating, or complaining. I don't want to be that mom but... Someone has to help me or hear me out. I can't be the only one ...

Answer

You're not crazy in the slightest. I share in sentiment... Everything hurts. Between lower back pain, pelvic pain, pelvic pressure, swelling in my hands and feet which in turn causes numbness and some joint pain, the inability to breathe, and all in all exhaustion chasing around a 3yr old.... I HEAR YA GIRL! This shit is no joke. And certainly not fun. I'm over it 😒😒😒

Answer

Girl don't even listen to any of that, my doctors rather me go in for the smallest thing than brush something off & it end up being something more serious. In my case I am very high risk I had preeclampsia with my first baby & had to have a random emergency c section at 24 weeks. So this time around this pregnancy has been nuts just trying to make it long enough so trust & believe I go to the hospital about every other week! You never know & I rather be safe than sorry.

Answer

I went in to the er today for the slightest pain thinking oh its nothing....still here being monitored 12 hrs later because I'm in pre term labor....go with your gut mama knows best

Answer

You're not. During the last couple weeks I've developed some hellish form of PGP. I'm 34+3. My OB assures me it's normal, but then she also told me that if I feel a pain like a hot poker in my vagina, that's normal too. Awesome. My SO tells me to stop "milking it" to which I reply by flipping him the bird as I gingerly waddle across the room. That's on top of the rib pain I've been feeling since week 20 😖 ironically I've had no other symptoms during this pregnancy.

Answer

Nope! I literally was just talking about this with DH last night. I go to a military hospital and I'm active duty...so I feel like the level of compassion is significantly less sometimes...like they always think I'm trying to get out of working. At today's appt I'm going to tell them about the intense contractions I've been having and I'm sure I will be blown off. 🙄
